    The "I'm Going on Vacation" Thread

    Going on a vacation?
    Post about it here!

    I am going to be studying for a semester at the University of Bologna in Italy. I'm leaving tomorrow night and won't be back in the old USA for several months. I am being put up in a hotel for 2 weeks but then I need to find an apartment or place to live in. My university in the States requires that all of my classes taken abroad be taught in the native tongue. Io posso parlare l'Italiano, ma non bene. So its going to be a really craze trying to adjust to a new culture and language and doing school stuff at the same time.

    If anyone swings through Bologna feel free to look me up. I also plan on travelling around Europe when I have the free time. Somehow I doubt I'll make it to Sweden (bit far away)... so I won't be able to meet the infamous Terracosmo or any of you other nutty Swedes.

    At first I was going to post this in one of the "Goodbye" threads, but those seem to be members' personal goodbyes and I don't really want to infringe on those. And then I got to thinking, I'm probably not going to say "Goodbye", because I'm not really leaving Gotwoot forever (don't look so disappointed!), so a "Goodbye" thread would be silly.

    Then again.... I'm not going on vacation either... I'm actually taking a semester to study abroad. Still, well, you get the general point. Figure this thread might become a place for discussion of travel plans and maybe a way for Gotwoot members to rendezvous with each other.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I actually read the whole thing but all i picked up was that he will study in some place Italy and that he won't make it to Sweden, so i take it that we won't see you posting for an entire semester then?

    Funny little note: Semester means vacation in swedish, there now i taught you a new word.

    Bologna is not just a cheap and nasty deli meat. It is a city in central Italy, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, traditionally one of the wealthiest areas in Italy due to its flatness (therefore being the most lucrative agricultural area of Italy) and good weather. Here's a map for you really stupid ones...



    It is also called "The Kitchen" of Italy, because of its restaurants and fresh markets.

    The University of Bologna is the oldest European university that is still in existence. It was founded in 1088. Its considered one of Italy's best universities for traditional arts and sciences (humanities, social sciences, economics, the stuff I study). It is somewhat of a "college town", as so much of the city is based around the university.

    Obviously you should have figured out from this post that this journey isn't going to mean I'm not going to appear around the forums. Tough shit if you were hoping I'd be gone for a long time.
    Damnit Bud. I tried like ten searches so I would avoid remaking a topic. "I'll be gone" weren't any of the words I searched...

    You should visit Venice to get some exquisite glass items. They have long traditions.

    I went to Korea for a Taekwondo trip a few years ago. Beautiful country. I really enjoyed my time there.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
